To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, WILLIAM F. Dim-t, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, re siding at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of.lennsylvai'iia, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements inSmoke and Dust Collectors, of which the following is a specification,ref erence being had therein to the accompany in g; drawing.

This invention relates to smoke and dust collectors for radiators, gasstoves, and fire places, and the primary object or" my invention is toprovide a novel hood to be easilv mounted over a radiator for collect.-ing dust set in motion by the heat emitted by the radiator.

Another object of this invention is to provide a simple and inexpensivedevice that can be'located in proximity/to a gas stove or fire place forcollcctin smoke, dust and particles of dirt ejected a stove or tirelace.

With the above and other objects in view which will more readily appearas the in-. vention is better understood, the same consists in the novelconstruction, combination and arrangement or" parts to be i'esentlydescribed and then specifically pointed out in the appended claims.Referring to the draw1ngs:l+1gure 1 is an elevation of a smoke and dustcollector mounted over a radiator, Fig. 2 is a longi= on the line mw ofFig. 2, Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the dust and smokecollector as mounted over a gas stove, and

Fig. 5 is a cross sectional View of the col-' lector located at a tireplace.

In the accompanying drawings, 1 designates the side walls of a dust andsmoke collecting hood, and 2 the end. walls thereof, while 3 designatesa cover or vap adapted to fit upon the upper edges of the side and endwalls. The side walls 1' are cut away, as at 4, to provide a window oropening, and when the collecting hood is used in connection with aradiator 5 that is located near a all (not shown), the side wall 1.confronting the wall is closed by a plate (3, best. shown in Fig. 3 ofthe drawings. This plate prcve-nts the wall from being afiected by theheat emitted by the radiator 5, while the opposite wall allows the heatto escape.

In the casing formed by the walls 1 and 2 p scificsxbion of. set

and the cap 3 is arranged a collecting material I, such as mine ".11wool or line asbestos. This material is supported by a wire screen orgauze S, suitably secured to the side walls and end walls as by rivets9. The wire gauze or screen supports the wool in proximity to theradiator 5, and collects dust and dirt set in motion by the heat emittedby the radiator. Thewire gauze or screen 8 in connection with thesideand end walls form whatmay be termed a compartment for the collectingmaterial. The collecting material can be readily renewed by removing thecap or cover One of we end walls 2 of the hood is cut away, as at ll),-to provide clearance for the radiator pipe 11..

In Fig. l of the drawings, I have illustrated a collecting hood similarto the. hood of Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive. with the exception that thecollecting material at the end walls "2 is supported at a higherelevation. This collecting hood is placed down over a gas stove orburner, and as these stoves or burners are generally supported aconsiderable distance above the floor, l have found that the collectinghood is applicable to various types of stoves and burners by locatingthe collecting material in the position illustrated in Fig. 4 of thedrawings. r

The appli ration of my collecting hood as applied to a tire place isclearly shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings where it will be observed thatthe screen 8 can extend downwardly similar to the hood illustrated inFig. 2.

I reserve the right to arrange the screen 8 and the collecting materialaccording to the shape of the radiator, stove or fire place inconnection with which the same is use l.

The collecting hood is made of light a'ud durable non-fusible material,and the sii'nplicity. of construction permits of the same belngmanufactured at a comparatively small cost.

Having now described my invention what/ ting against. one of said side'alls for closing the opening therein, a relatively narrow fiat strip oitoraininous material interposed between the side walls and having itsends secured to the end walls, said strip of material in connection withsaid walls form, ing a compartment, a collecting material Within saidcompartment, and a cover. adapt ed to fit upon the upper edges of saidside and end Walls closing said compartment.

2. A smoke and dust collecting hood comprising side and end Walls, saidside waiis cut away to provide openings, :1. relativeiy narrow fiatstrip of forazninous material interposed between the side \vaiis andhaving;

its ends secured to the endwalls, said strip '10 'of material inconnection with said Walls forming a compartment, a collecting materialWithin said compartment, and a cover adapted to fit upon the upper edgesof said side and end Walls closing said compartment.
